(May 29, 2022) “And a Little Child Shall Lead Them: Legacy”

What can we learn from children about what it means to be faithful? What can we learn from children about what it looks like to grow in our relationship with God? What can we learn from children about how we learn to say “yes” when God calls?

from Luke 5:12-16

Healing Service

We are all in some way, desperate for the healing touch of Jesus. Do you recognize the areas in which you need to be made whole? Are you willing to humble yourself before the Lord and receive the wholeness that He offers? Imagine what shape your life might begin to take if you sought Him for all He can offer…and imagine the way you might begin to reach into the brokenness of others and offer them Jesus.

from John 11:17-26

On this Resurrection Day, we hear Jesus’ statement, “I Am the Resurrection and the Life.” Jesus speaks this hopeful truth into the midst of disappointment and sadness and loss. It is not only a promise of the possibility of eternity with Him, but an invitation to life in which there is hope in the midst of our darkest place and our deepest confusion.

“Do you believe this?”

(February 27, 2022) “Love Redeemed: Loving Like Jesus”

from John 15:9-17

Over the course of these 7 weeks, our prayer is that we are able to wrestle back from the world, and allow Scripture as well as the life of Jesus redeem for us what we understand love to be.

What would it look like to begin to prioritize seeking the loving heart of God over other things that we tend to make more important in our lives? What would it look like to allow ourselves to be truly loved by God…to prioritize reaching out in love for those around us? How might your life begin to look different? How might the church begin to look different if this is where the emphasis were placed? Not that seeking wisdom and the exercising of the gifts ceased to be important, but were never MORE important than the task of loving God and loving others…
